Why has Bandler embraced choices that lead to him being labelled a wildcard and badboy while Grinder prefers an approach that leans to academic rigour and physical prowess?
Given that the field of NLP is in large part about communication style, are those differences character-based and incidental or do they point to profound distinctions in method and intention?
Is it really the case the Bandler learned how to capture attention from comedians, making for a populist approach? And what are the advantages of Grinder's live style, which can come across more academic in tone?
There are at least two ways to approach responding to these questions. One involves challenging my presuppositions and asking me for evidence, and is not what I'm looking for here: I apologise in advance for not responding in this thread to queries of that nature. Another way is to take my questions in good faith, even if they're not perfectly formed, and answer from that perspective. And if we can do that without it turning into a Bandler v Grinder bitchfest, so much the better: I have read, trained with and learned from both men.
